If you mean teachers who turn up for a while then suddenly disappear, yes. It has the highest turn over of teachers I've ever seen..

Hello TV community. I'm in the process of considering my options regarding an ongoing contract i have with a Thai school. I started with them mid year, and on receiving a copy of my signed contract i was told specifically that "the school will sue you if you breach this contract". Apparently this threat is given to all their teaching staff. I've been teaching in Thailand for years with many signed contracts, most of them fulfilled, some ending prematurely with written notice due to unforeseen circumstances which were reasonable with no problems, and certainly no threats to be sued. So my question is if I were forced to break contract and leave my current position due to poor health or flying back home to tend to my elderly parent's needs, is the school able to sue me? And if so, what legal recourse do I have here? I intend to carry out my contract as I usually do, but i can't accept this arbitrary form of absolute control over my life. I've never been threatened to be sued ever up until now.

My exact experience there both yesterday & today. Those frontdesk underling nitpickers are very good at driving people away. Best to go around them if there's a 'fast-track' option available there.

Nice suggestion there : ) Thank you!

Hi everyone. Just wanted to report my experience from today at the Nonthaburi IO. My plan was to extend my visa exempt for 30 days. On arrival I was told that they would only accept my online booking if i had a photo copy of the actual booking: Strike 1. Next I was told that the TM30 also had to be printed out with a screenshot not acceptable: Strike 2. Once I finally got a copy of my TM30 from one of the outside printing services through sending the screenshot to them with the Line app I was told that my TM30 had not been done on time, hence today IO will not grant me an extension: Strike 3. I was handed out the TM30 form, told that I must pay 800 baht, along with a 'documents required' list stapled to the TM30 form. According to this form I'm required to print every page of my passport, along with the copy of ID card of householder, copy of house registration authority, lease agreement & a copy of the condominium title deed. They also handed me a Power of Attorney form to fill out..So that escalated to say the least. So far In my experience, I've found the Cheang Wattana IO much more convenient in regards to honouring online booking with screenshot proof of booking and reasonable in regards to TM30, the last one I did was also late, but it wasn't an issue for the IO officer at Cheang Wattana IO.. Anyway, it looks like i may have to do a visa run or fly out of the country before or on 14th April as i wont be able to acquire signatures from the condo owner today or tomorrow who's away for Songkran. *Also, there are no ATMs in close proximity to the Nonthaburi IO building, with the only cash option being offered by outside shops with your bank app. They charge a 20 baht fee for this.

Hi everyone. My 45 day visa exempt is up on the 14th of April, right on Songkran, so I plan to go into the local IO in Nonthaburi tomorrow to get a 30 day extension. Aside from my passport,TM7 form, photo, + 1,900 baht, is there anything else required? Are they still asking for the TM30 screenshot? Cheers!

Yes, my TM30's been done. I've got a screen shot of it thank you.

Yes I have. I guess that settles it then.

Hi TV folk. I recently moved to Nonthaburi and will need to apply for a 30 day extension next month. Is it still possible to do this at the immigration office at Chaengwattana, or am i now required to do this at the Nonthaburi IO? Also, is the Nonthaburi IO a walk in deal, or is it possible to book a time online? Cheers

Noted. Thanks for the APK suggestion as a possible workaround and appreciate the disclaimer : )

It wont allow that. It prompts in Thai that the field is still incomplete, thus unable to be completed: ลงทะเบียนที่หน่วยงาน: กรุณาป้อนข้อมูลให้ครบถ้วน

Ahh, that makes sense. Had the same issue trying to find the 7-11 delivery app on apple app store. Thanks for the helpful suggestion.

I couldn't find this app. Tried looking on my android tablet to no avail.

That box isn't auto populating for me for some reason. Tried with a few different browsers, same result..

Hi everyone. i'm attempting to register my TB30 on extranet.immigration.go.th, but it wont let me get passed "* ลงทะเบียนที่หน่วยงาน : Register at" as I'm unable to type any information into that box. If anyone knows how to get around this it would be much appreciated. Thank you!
